i lay beneath those stars
beneath the vast depths
of space and nothingness.
i have those words
you once wrote
about the beauty of stars.
how poetic of you
that was.
as the stars entrigue me
and hypnotize me
i take notice of
the long grass beneath
my weary body.
so cool against my skin
and the dew soaks through
my clothes.
i lay back with my hands
behind my head.
i rest my eyes
and all those images of you
danced before my eyes.
as a soft breeze
ran imaginary fingers up my arms,
in my mind, i see that it is you.
i could recall
all those times
you lay beside me.
and as the wind
whispered in my ear
you were telling me again
how you loved me
and respected me
and all you wanted was
to be with me.
i feel myself smile
as i think of
the very first time
i saw you smile.
how the butterflies
seemed to be desperately trying
to escape.
i would love to escape
right now.
regardless of the fact
i lay alone
in the middle of nowhere,
i feel the need
to get farther away
from these problems.
i wish to disappear
and become part of this night
that feels like its
already beginning
to swallow me.
but who would miss me?
would you,
you who loved me
like you did,
would you notice
that im no longer here
to listen to you speak
of a lost love?
i hate the thought
of never again
being able to look
into your eyes
as my fingers
entwined themselves
in your hair.
i could almost feel that now.
i sigh to myself
and open my eyes.
i smiled as i saw
your face among those stars.
i had always thought
you were a truly
beautiful person
and here you are among
some of the most beautiful objects.
how i wish
the night would take me
and keep me forever
to dance among
the stars.

This is beautiful. My first thought after reading it was "Thank God for memories", as sometimes they are what keeps us going. And yet they can come with such pain.

A beautiful easy flow to this writing.
